To expand on the previous poster's point - this product contains 1% Glyphosate - the active ingredient that kills the plant. http://www.scotts.com/smg/catalog...d=&sissr=1
The local farmers supply location, for me, sells 1 pint 41% Glyphosate for $10. That will make up 41 x 16oz or 656 oz, or over 5 gallons or almost twice as much for less than 1/2 the price. The quart of 41% concentrate for $15.99 is even better. It does not have some of the additional ingredients to make it rain fast, but for me that's a plus as I don't want to wait 4 months typically. http://www.southernstates.com/cat...glyphosate
If you have something nasty to kill, like Johnston Grass, that has intergrown with regular plants, be careful as roots that are intermingled MAY be able to spread the herbicide (conflicting reports). You can take a largish shipping box and make a temporary "spraying container". Put it over the weed, and then spray the foliage inside the box. This will minimize spray drift, and you can recycle the box afterwards.

This. Roundup is mostly marketing. It's also the same with the monthly lawn spraying companies. You can buy the equipment and chemicals for the price of about a year of spraying and do it yourself.

I brought a 1.33 gallon at HomeDepot for $13. So far, I like it. It killed the weed in about 2 days. Seems like better than the old roundup. The sprayer is electrical. So I don't have to pump any more with this.

Depends on what you are spraying. The 1% works fine for the vast majority of weeds, but when I moved onto one property it had Multiflora roses (grows large, invasive weed species it's thorns can pierce tractor tires) that were taller than me and a good eight feet across. I sprayed it once with a 2% solution, and all I got was some leaf dieback. I had to up it to %5 and spray twice to kill the $%^% thing. The ability to custom mix your concentration can be VERY nice. FYI the larger thorns will go right through a leather glove also.

This stuff is available in store only. Where else can I find something like this, I noticed that it doesn't ship to PA. That's where I am.

PM me your address. You need to check "farmer's supply" at your zip code on Google as those are usually the best deals. You can also check "garden centers". Don't forget to factor in mileage, if the farmer's supply place is a 20 mile detour, it's probably not worth it if Lowes is on the way home. I recall Costco having a decent deal on Roundup a couple of years back, but I suspect it was no better a deal than this.

Spray this when you are going to have several days of dry weather, I like to shoot for a week. If I remember correctly in does break down under UV exposure, i.e. sunlight. DO NOT SPRAY near aquatic life (unless you have the one week or so of dry weather so it won't wash into the body of water, and you are careful), I cannot remember if it wipes out the fish, or if it simply wipes out the water plants and then everything else starves, but same net effect. It can also persist in the soil as it travels into the roots to kill the plant, which is why they have the warning to wait 4 months. You don't necessarily need to, it depends on how sensitive what you're planting is to Roundup, and you can also check that on Google.
